Subject: [PATCH v2 10/18] rtla: Replace magic number with MAX_PATH
The trace functions use a buffer to manipulate strings that will be
written to tracefs files. These buffers are defined with a magic number
of 1024, which is a common source of vulnerabilities.
Replace the magic number 1024 with the MAX_PATH macro to make the code
safer and more readable. While at it, replace other instances of the
magic number with ARRAY_SIZE() when the buffer is locally defined.
